Simultaneously, my move into the three-dimensional realm asked for the use of more ’practical’ materials, which would suit a more challenging scale and answer the need for an enhanced flexibility of operation within this context. Continuously exploring adequate and more refined ways of presenting light and it’s mediator (the finished object/structure/installation) while simultaneously seeking a more ’realistic’ and less ’illusionary’ quality and dimension of its perception, I began to let myself be inspired by everyday objects and structures. This also induced my consideration of separating painting from its metaphysical qualities. This recent and significant development in my practice can be experienced in my use of color as light, commenting on its use in real life and questioning its traditional hierarchy. Aiming to open common connotations of color and broadening the understanding for the potential of color as light, I continue to pursue the comprehension of light as an essential and constituent element of life.

Puddle thinking

Imagine a puddle waking up one morning and thinking, “This is an interesting world I find myself in, an interesting hole I find myself in, fits me rather neatly, doesn't it? In fact it fits me staggeringly well, must have been made to have me in it!”

This is such a powerful idea that as the sun rises in the sky and the air heats up and as, gradually, the puddle gets smaller and smaller, it's still frantically hanging on to the notion that everything’s going to be alright, because this world was meant to have him in it, was built to have him in it; so the moment he disappears catches him rather by surprise.

I think this may be something we need to be on the watch out for.

(Douglas Adams)
